Emperor Han Wu of Qin lost his literary style slightly. In ancient times, there were many affairs of emperors, and there were very few emperors who could master poetry and song and excel in literature. Although there are also Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi, Southern Tang Dynasty lord Li Yu and other people who have left their names in the history of literature, but in serious calculation, they all belong to special circumstances, and it is still rare for the emperor to be good at writing poetry and lyrics.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor wrote more than 40,000 poems, but few of them were passed down. In fact, the emperor is also a person, and there are times of amusement, especially when the emperor plays oil poetry. For example, Qianlong once wrote a poem "Flying Snow": "One piece after another, two pieces of three pieces of four or five pieces, six pieces of seven pieces of eight or nine pieces, flying into the reed flowers are not seen." ”
Speaking of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, as we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family, on October 21, 1328, when Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang, Anhui Province, it was the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, Zhu Yuanzhang from childhood had to rely on the landlord to herd cattle to fill his stomach, and the family did not have extra money for him to study.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang's name was originally just a simple "Zhu Zhongba", the same as the original name of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, "Liu Ji", but it was just a name randomly taken according to the ranking of brothers. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was named Zhu Chuyi, and his father's name was Zhu Wusi, which shows that the Zhu family has indeed been extremely poor for three generations, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not short-lived, and his poor birth does not affect his meritorious career.
In 1352, the 25-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Rebellion of Guo Zi and ushered in a turning point in his fate. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the rebel army, showed bravery and flexibility, made many military achievements, and gradually became the commander. Later, with the assistance of many capable people, Zhu Yuanzhang's power became stronger and stronger day by day, he eliminated Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng, and finally at the age of 40, he put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne.
At the beginning of the first year of Hongwu (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang's enthronement ceremony was held in Yingtianfu. And Zhu Yuanzhang's famous "oil poem" was sung when he ascended the throne and became emperor. We know that Zhu Yuanzhang's serious study of culture is still a matter after he joined the rebel army, the army is fighting, and the affairs are busy, so it is difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to learn to be at the level of Li Bai.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's poem "Golden Rooster Report" composed after hearing the chicken's cry, the first 2 sentences can make people laugh at first: "The chicken cries a pinch, and the chicken cries two pouts." These two sentences can be said to be unscriptive, and even a hint of tackiness, and the ministers who were standing at that time also looked at each other, wanted to laugh, but did not dare to laugh.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at them lightly, and then did not hurry to pick up the last two sentences: "Three calls out the Fusang Day, sweep away the remnants of the stars and the dawn!" The last 2 verses of the poem are full of imperial domineering, although the wording is not very elegant, partial to popular, but it has become the "finishing touch" of the whole poem.
From this, we can see that when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became emperor, his heart was also full of pride and ambition. After listening, the ministers who originally wanted to laugh fell to the ground and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!" ”
